No industry OF art can be regarded as
trifing when a poor person can make a
living by il, or when any number of peo-
pie, old OF young, find in il amusement.
relaxation or instruction. / have known
many families in which the practice of
the minor arts was discouraged under a
mistaken impression that it caused a
waste OF time, or induced tastes and
habits which disqualified the young from
forming Cuisines habits" This is a
great mistake. All practical arts, how
ever small, induce habits Of patience, in
dustry and self control. They form
habits Of thinking; for, as men have
composed books while making shoes. so
Others cannot help pursuing trains Of
thought while carving, basket making or
setting beads. And il is gradually being
found out and recognized that hand work
of any kind, but more especially that
which interests us, develops the con-
structive faculties; that is 20 say, makes
us apt with the fingers and quick at per-
ceiving anything, or at i~nventing or find
ing out ways and means to make or do
anything.
From this point Of view, even setting
beads and inlaying with wire may have
their good effects as moral discipline

Old Fashioned Tooth Pulling.

remember having a tooth pulled once
by the old doctor. His wife seated her
self in a chair, and placed me on the
floor with my head clasped between her
knees. Then the doctor brought out his
turnkey-which was constructed some
what like one of the levers with a nova
BILE hook used for the rolling of logs-and
fished from his pocket an old bandana
handkerchief. which had done service
for mouth, nose, and perspiration for a
month or two. and wadded it about the
handle of the machine. This bundle he
pushed in my mouth. after having lanced
the gums. and commenced working TO
get the end of the hook under the edge Of
the tooth. Having accomplished this, he
began to grind ON the handle, and al the
same moment the old lady frightened her
grasp on my head. The top Of my head
seemed being pried off. and all the mar
row in my bones seemed To be pulled up
in strings toward my neck. Crack. the
instrument slipped off. Again it was
fixed, and again the top Of my head was
turned upward with n violent crash, and
again the reluctant marrow was drawn
out in strings. Three times did the ma
chine slip; the fourth trial was made,
the top of my head was wrenched en-
tirely off, and the marrow in my system,
my boots, bones. and all, appeared to be
drawn up with a terrific pull, and the
molar was extracted.
l pocketed the tooth, he pocketed a
shilling, and then l left.
II was not an uncommon occurrence in
those days for the doctor, when trying to
locate his hook beyond the space filed by
the handkerchief. to hitch on the wrong
tooth, and to jerk out a sound grinder in
place of the real offender. In such a
case the sufferer took it all good ma
uuredly, and underwent with such endur-
ance as he could the correction Of the
blunder.-"Poliuto" in Chicago Times.

What stopped the Train.

Men put down their papers and looked
out Of the windows. Ting-a-ling, ting-a-
ling. The rope was moving through the
long train Of cars. Down went the
brakes. The train stopped. The passen-
gers thought the bell had fung for Dam
GER" Every one was much alarmed.
The men hurried out. The ladies leaned
out of the windows 10 look. But there
was nothing to be seen. The train seemed
to be all right.
The brakeman ran down the track.
There vas nothing wrong on the track.
Some of the brakemen went into the
baggage car. Then they found out why
the bell rang.
There was a monkey in the baggage
car. He had come from India in a ship.
He was on the way to a gentleman who
had bought him.
In his old home in the forest he used
TO Irvine his tail around the branches and
rock and swing.
= He sat on a trunk in the baggage car.
He thought this was a very dull way 10
spend his time. He wished to play as he
did at home.
Soon he spied the bell wire. This bell
wire run through the train at the top of
cars. He twined his tail round the wire
and rocked and swung. He enjoyed ii
very much.
That was the way the bell was rung.
/. The brakemen laughed.
They did not scold the queer little bell

At Martha's Vineyard sword fishing is
getting to be the favorite amusement.
A beginner grows enthusiastic the first
year over perch, the second season he
essays a trip OF two of black bass fishing,
while the third season he conquers blue
fish and seasickness sufficiently to enter
the senior class of sword fishermen, who
are whalers in miniature. The require
mcnts of this grand sport are a calm sea,
plenty of fins showing above it and a
cautious captain who can creep up care
fully and quietly enough to give the man
in the lookout a chance TO show his skill
in throwing a harpoon. II it strikes the
fish a line of fifty fathoms is played out,
with an empty key on the end to buoy it,
and while the party are in search of an
other fin and tail the wounded fish fin
ishes his fiuking, and with his unfortu-
nate brothers is gathered up after the
sport is over. Many of these fish weigh
$50 pounds. and they are a delicious
table delicacy.-Philadelphia Call.

ROOF GARDEN IN NEW YORK.

One Woman Prefers to Stay In Town and
Enjoy the Luxuries OF Her Own Home.
There is a woman who ranks among
the half dozen richest of her sex in New
York, good looking, liked by society men
and women alike, m~easurably young
not very far ON either side of the bound
airy line of 80, that is-who puzzles in
mmmer everybody who knows her. She
never goes mi Of town. She has a cottage
at Newport, but has not openeda in five
years; she has a house at Lenox, but
visits it only in the early spring, when
the first flowers are peeping from under
the snowdrifts, or in the late autumn,
when the leaves are turning. She is a
widow, but il has never been supposed
that the vestiges Of a grief which does not
keep her from dancing in winter would
shut her up within brick walls in July.
"What keeps you here in this weather."
q reporter asked her, as the sun beat
against the closed blinds two or three
mornings ago.
II stay simply because I like it," she
replied. "New York is summer resort
enough for me. Everybody passes through
the city from east, west, north or south
on their way somewhere in course of the
summer. and / meet more friends than /

for being comfortable, too, and summer

INVASION or THE SEA.
Shores Where the Waves Fight Unceas-
ingiy for Dominion.


There are portions of the land along
the sea coast where the waves are al
ways fighting for dominion. The wear
ing away Of the earth is very rapid unless
these places arc protected by artificial
dykes or by natural embankments Of
sand. On the east coast of England great
changes have teen wrought within a few
hundred years. Where the old maps of
that coast appear incorrect, showing
capes where there are now bays, the
want of accuracy today is not due to any
fault of the maps. The shore line has
greatly changed, and villages and
churches have disappeared, or are now to
be seen under the waves.
The most wonderful thing about all
this is the slender means by which the
power of the sea is resisted. A layer of
sand of only a few inches thickness,
washed up upon the edge Of a marsh,
will bear all the pounding and beating Of
the sea in a storm, and be made all the
firmer by what it has to endure. And
yet the same sand. when it is dry, will
drift before the wind like snow. and will
seem as poorly fitted for a breakwater as
would a snow bank.
All along our Atlantic coast are to be
found beaches like those ON the east
coast of England, which rest upon soft
mud. The means for preserving these
are as simple as the nature of the beaches
themselves. Grasses that will grow in
the sand, and will grow nowhere else,
give the only protection that can be
found, and, in most instances, all the
protection that is needed. The variety
grown is called marum grass in Eng
land. The name evidently means sea
grass.
This grass was constantly own by tine
Dutch on the sand hills which line their
sea shore; and it is altogether likely that
the practice of sowing it was introduced
into England from Holland in very early
times.
There is said to be a widespread notion
among the people of Norfolk that some
penalty attaches to the gathering Of
marum grass for any purpose. This
must be a tradition from times when
such laws were in force, for there is no
law providing a penalty at present,
After a great storm, in 1908, commits
sioners were appointed to preserve the
sea hanks on the east coast, and i. is
likely they made local rules and reguSa-
tons for the keeping of the grass.
As nature provides very simple means
for holding the water and the sand. 50
the banks are threatened from a quarter
from which danger would hardly be ex-
pected. When the water is low, the rats
pierce the banks with their holes, and
these quickly enlarge in the soft sand so
that a single rat hole may prove the
destruction of miles of e~mbankment.
One thing which is not sufficiently
taken into account by those who are in
terested in dyking and retaining
marshes is that the peaty soil, upon
being drained, settles, and brings the
surface much lower than before. Arti-
fetal dykes need TO be made with this
result in vieSy.-Youth's Companion.
